2. Description
2.1 Purpose
The DPS 5000 pressure transducers is a micro-controller based smart pressure transducer
that provides a digital output through an SDI-12 interface. The transducer is a sealed device
with the electrical connections made via an integral cable.
The DPS 5000 pressure transducers is a low powered device offering a high level of accuracy
over a wide temperature range. The SDI-12 interface provides compensated pressure and
temperature readings and allows the transducer operation to be software controlled.
The transducers are of a modular design, the parameters of which are chosen by the customer
at the time of order.
2.2 Technical Specifications
Refer to the appropriate DPS 5000 data sheet for technical specifications and explanation of
the transducer's model number.
Model numbers appended with a four or eight-digit alphanumeric string denote the use of a
customer-specific specification drawing indicating the use of additions or deviations to the
data sheet specification. Refer to the specification drawing if applicable.
2.3 Design and Principle of Operation
The transducer consists of a pressure connector, pressure measuring module, a partially
encapsulated electronics module, and electrical connection facilities, structurally combined in
a cylindrical metal housing.
The pressure connector allows the transducer to be mounted to a pressurized vessel or
pipework.
2 | DPS5000 Instruction Manual-English © 2019 Baker Hughes, a GE company – All rights reserved.
The pressure measuring module consists of a welded metal construction, featuring a metal
diaphragm (providing a flexible barrier to harsh process media), a glass-to-metal seal (for
electrical connections) and a fluid filled cavity containing a silicon-based micro-machined
structure.
3. Installation & Operation
3.1 General Requirements
When the transducer is received, check for completeness.
To identify the electrical and pressure connections, refer to the product data sheet or, if
applicable, the specification drawing.
Do not use force when installing the transducer. Do not tighten the transducer by rotating the
housing. For this purpose, a hexagon socket for the wrench is provided on the housing.
The ambient temperature and the process media to be measured must not exceed the ranges
specified in the transducer specification.
In the negative temperature range it is necessary to exclude the accumulation and freezing of
condensate in the working chambers and inside the connecting pipelines for gaseous media
and freezing, crystallization of the medium or crystallization from it, of the individual
components for liquid media.
The materials used for the primary enclosure and pressure bearing surfaces are identified in
the product data sheet or, if applicable, the specification drawing. Make sure that the
materials are applicable for the installation.
Before using the equipment, remove the plastic/rubber protection cap from the pressure
connector.
The DPS 5000 is a harsh media isolated product. Isolation is achieved by hermetically sealing
the transducer element in an oil filled chamber. The weight of this oil gives a g sensitivity as a
pressure offset error.
Note: The g-sensitivity will also create an error in a high vibration environment and the unit
should be mounted accordingly.
3.2 Safety Measures
The operation of transducers in systems whose pressure may exceed the overload values
specified in the data sheet or customer-specific specification drawing is not allowed.
Connection and detachment of transducers from the mains supplying the pressure of the
medium to be measured must be done after the shutoff valve is closed from the process and
the pressure in the working chamber is made equal to atmospheric.
CAUTION Until installation, keep the unit in the original container with all
the covers in position. The container and covers prevent contamination and
damage. When not in use, keep the connections clean at all times, and put the
covers on the open connections.
